12/13   So when a business thinks/claims/pretends that I owe them money
        it can send my info to a collection company who will then try to
        ruin my credit rating.  What recourse do I have when a business
        owe me money, besides sending letters to their waste basket?  Do
        they have credit rating that keep them accountable too?
        \_ Yes, they have credit ratings.
           \_ At my startup, we used to subscribe to Dun & Bradstreet (http://www.dnb.com
              and build our company credit rating with them so that (potential) clients
              can check on our creditworthiness.
        \_ You can take them to court. Small claims court will cost you about
           what, $25-$50? Say you are disputing the charges and seek an
           injunction. If the business tries to hassle you about terms/
           conditions for 3rd party arbitration and you didn't sign anything
           tell them to go to hell since the question is if there was ever
           a contract in the first place. What company, what situation, and
           how much are they trying to get from you?

        \_ ultimately, it's defamation of character.

4/23    Suppose you used to work at Awesome Corp that got acquired by
        Monsanto Corp. You're embarrassed about it and people now hate
        you by association. Should you put Monsanto on your resume? Or
        is it better to leave it out completely?
        \_ Awesome Corp 2008-present (acquired by Monsanto in 2010)

        biz dev, endless meetings;"

        \_ I love management and PMs, the more the better.
           \_ In my company the ratio of product managers to developers is
              about 1 to 5.  I heard that at Microsoft it's about 1 to 1.

3/1     Can someone explain to me why Groupon is a tech company?
        \_ It's similar to how Amazon and eBay are tech companies.
           \_ Amazon and eBay are *NOW* tech companies, they didn't
              start that way. Groupon started off as a marketing
              company, and their "technology" isn't getting any better
              than a bigger and bigger opt-in email spam system.

Getting your house in good condition before you sell can demonstrate pride of ownership and could possibly get you a higher sales price for your home. A home that is visually appealing and in good condition will attract more potential buyers particularly those driving down the street. You should view your property through an outsider's eyes.
